]]>I was reading one of my favourite health related magazines once again and thought to myself. “You can never go wrong with a chicken salad”. Anything grilled with veggies is good for you and I made sure to feature this baby in this week’s post.

What I loved about this particular recipe is that it involves frozen vegetables but if you are an over achiever you can actually chop and peel the vegetatbles yourself.

It’s also an eat right online approved recipe because of the fact that it doesn’t take too long to prepare and can be done in less than one hour, not forgetting that it can help you lose weight or maintain that sexy body you have been working on.

All that is required required from you is just some seasoning, oven and maybe chopping skills if you are feeling like a pro.

I know I have been featuring recipes with chicken breasts frequently but hey, I just can’t resist the big bird and it’s health benefits. I guess if you love something, you will go all out to show your appreciation for it.

The outcome of the grilled salad was quite a remarkable experience for me because I committed a “cooking crime” by watching TV while leaving the food unattended. Fortuntately nothing burnt and I got away with it and got something presentable for social media posts and some internet friendly content.

But nonetheless, a masterpiece was created once again, and it’s probably a going to be a smash hit on a cooking show in the future.

]]>I don’t know what it is about chicken breasts but lately I have become a huge fan of them and had to create yet another recipe including them.

It all happened when I was reading the September 2017 issue of Men’s Health Magazine (South African) edition.

There are so many recipes to choose from in that particular article but I chose to play it safe and went for the spinach, sweet potato and of course…. The infamous chicken breasts.

Like any other recipe found on this website, it is simple, healthy and can be done in less than one hour.

If you have been following the low carb, high protein guideline, this is a treat for you and if you are all about low calories, this recipe should also suit you just fine.

For all the gym goers out there who need a great post workout meal, this should also help with muscle recovery and muscle growth. The nutrients in this meal include all the vitamins you would normally get from some supplement pill found at a chemist.

This “masterpiece” got my creative juices flowing for some time and I must say, I was able to conquer yet another challenge and didn’t burn anything or under cook the sweet potatoes as they tend to get tricky from time to time.

Although I may have added my own flavour to the meal like I always do. You can do the same by adding cayenne pepper, lemon zest, paprika and even some paprika to enhance the taste according to you liking.

Feel free to play around with the recipe and have fun with the cooking process, after all it would be dull if you just copy and paste without adding your own magical touch to the mixture.

]]>There are various ways an individual can lose weight, from banting to yo-yo diets. The list is endless but in this article, I would like to discuss clean eating. Clean eating in my opinion is way better than the strict diets that require will power and often make people give up on themselves due to the limitations that it imposes.

The benefits of clean eating include being healthier and leaner, feeling good about yourself and even boosts self esteem due to the anti-oxidents found in the various foods.

Clean eating is all about eating whole foods. I.e foods that don’t get mixed with other ingredients and are organic. No man made interventions get in the way of the foods that you eat. Mother nature is the only person involved in the making of these foods.

The kind of foods that you should include in your daily intake include:

Vegetables:

Potatoes, lettuce, brocolli, carrots, spinach etc are the type of foods that you need to include on a regular basis to lose or maintain a healthy weight.

Fruits

Anything from oranges to grapes to apples to banasnas can be used to replace either the chocolate bar or chocolate cake that you plan on having for desert or as a snack.

Meat:

Organically grown chickens, cows and sheep make up for great protien intake.

Liquids:

Although I did say mostly mother nature products make up for clean eating but a blender can be excused for this one as long as you use fruits and vegetables in the smoothies that you want to create.

To learn more about clean, the video below will give you a deeper understanding of what clean eating is all about.

]]>The outing I had last weekend at Mugg and Bean with the family was amazing and I was so inspired to create a chicken wrap of my own based on the ingredients that I just came up with and added my own flavour.

The picture I posted was a “hit” on Instagram and so I made sure that I included something as epic on the blog.

As a health and fitness fanatic, a chicken wrap will always have a soft spot in my heart because of its ease and nutrients that it provides. Even though I struggle to fold it, I always have a blast when it comes to making it.

All you need for this “masterpiece” are some tortillas, light mayonaise, lettuce, some chicken breasts, carrots, peppers and any other amazing green goodies of your choice.

It only takes about 20 minutes or less to make so it should be ideal for anyone who doesn’t have much time on their hands or isn’t too keen on spending a lot of time with preparing a nutritious meal.

All you need to do is follow the instructions and “voila”, an amazing meal is prepared that will sure ly help you with your weight-loss or fitness goals that you would like to achieve.

Like any other Eat Right Online approved recipe, this should also give you an idea of the type of foods you should be eating in order to maintain a healthy weight or simply adjust your diet without all the complicated mumbo jumbo promoted out there.

Your thoughts and opinions are highly appreciated and it would mean the world to me if you give some suggestions on how I can improve the site and more importantly, help you achieve any weight loss or fitness goals.

]]>I was fortunate enough last weekend to attend the good food and wine show that took place at the ticket pro dome in Johannesburg.

I got my first taste of a kale smoothie and found a whole lot of inspiration for future blog posts. There were many cuisines to choose from, ranging from Palestinian dishes all the way to Italian dishes. It almost felt like I was traveling the world by foot when walking around the arena and coming across the interesting foods that were up for tasting.

Unfortunately the wine tasting part I had to skip due to the fact that I was driving later on that evening but I still had a blast either way.

With so many options to choose from, I went for a sushi platter for lunch simply because of the way the guy presented it to me and also because my sister had never tasted it before and it was worth sharing the experience.

Although, I didn’t prepare any recipes from scratch this time, I entered a “make your own mojito” contest and I must say. I make a great bartender and have the proof in the picture below just to prove it.

The main chef who was hosting the contest was friendly enough to allow me to take a selfie with him. So who knows, I might be serving your drinks the next time you are at a club or even a boat cruise.

After such an amazing day, I was kind of sad that it came to an end but I will make sure that from that moment on, more food festivals and events will be documented and I shall create some more wonderful moments for the fans reading who enjoy the content on eat right online.

If you know of any events and festivals that I should cover on the blog, please feel free to mention it in the comments section below and I shall make a plan to do so.

]]>The more I cook something new, the more I discover my passion for cooking and in this particulaur post, the chicken and herb stir fry was the challenge I decided to take on and display it to the world.

Once again, I chose this particular recipe beacuse it’s simple and healthy and is “Eat Right Online” material.

No fancy skills are required for all those of you who believe that cooking something from scratch is a mission and can’t be done.

The only thing required for this masterpiece is time, a few ingredients (broccoli florets, green pepper, carrots and chicken breasts) and a bit of love.

After completing this baby, I was convinced that I was about to win master chef or some of the cooking contests I saw the other day on television.

It’s posts like these that I find on social media platforms like pinterest that give me the inspiraton to get out of my comfort zone and experiment with foods that I haven’t cooked before.

The internet is a wonderful place for me because there is so much to learn and the beauty of it is that it’s available at the tip of your fingers and you get to access it anywhere in the world regardless of location.

For all the weight watchers and gym goers out there, this recipe will serve you well and help achieve your goals whether it be losing another pound/kilogram or gaining some muscle, this will certainly do wonders for you.

I promise you that if you stay consistent with healthy eating habits, the results that you are looking for will eventually show.

]]>The most popular recipes I have noticed through socila media platforms such as pinteretst and twitter included chicken breasts and I thought I would also get involved with this remarkable idea and try it out.

Almost every meal plan out there for weight losers and fitness fanatics probably includes some chicken breast some where along the line.

This masterpiece has offered such a fun exprience which left me impressed with myself for creating something from scratch without any assistance from my sister.

I don’t know if that qualifies me to be the next contestant for master chef but hey, I believe it’s a start and maybe at some point in time I will achieve that goal.

All that’s needed for this particular recipe are some peppers, mortzorella cheese, the chicken breasts, fresh parsley and slices of bacon. The recipe that inspired me has other ingredients like mushrooms and other goods, but I decided to add my own flavour to it and make it my way. The (eat right online) way.

This recipe is also high in protien and should be a hit for all the bodybuilders out there trying to get their gains. For the weight watcher, this meal will be ideal for you because the calories are quite low and will fill you up with all the required nutrients and still taste great at the same time. What more could you ask for in an epic meal?

Please let me know what you think of my presentation skills in the comments section below so I know where to improve and to find out what from you what you would like to see in future posts. I would highly appreciate your honest feedback.

]]>One of my favourite sandwiches of all time has to be the chicken sandwich. Not because it’s being featured here but because of the delicious taste it has and the good it does to my gut.

It also comes in handy when you don’t want to put any effort into cooking something and can still get you the nutrients you need in order to achieve your weigth loss or fitness goals.

All you need is some chicken strips, a few veggies, mayonaise and prefably whole wheat bread. Other types of bread can be used but if you are trying to achieve your beach body or look after your health in general, either brown or whole wehat will help you get there.

I always get this particular sandwich right everytime I make it, there is never a dull moment and you can never go wrong with a bit of peppers some where in the mix.

I’m sure the instagram fans will go crazy over this one because of presentation (I’m not so good at it but I try).

The taste is also great and all the flavours come together with this one, and once again.. I was convinced that I could be the next master chef contestant with such a simple recipe that I sort of thumb sucked.

In order for you to make more of these babies, you can just add more ingredients to cater for guests at party or even pack lunch for your little ones at school. It’s ideal for the bachelor or bachelorette who doesn’t know how to cook very well but still wants to get all the required nutritional value from a simple 10 min dish.

]]>Diabetes is known as one of the deadliest silent killers in the world. Due to lack of knowledge, many people fall victim to this disease and I think I think it’s only right for me to play my part and share some info and let you know of the kind of foods out there that will help fight the disease.

Apples

Apples contain fibre and various vitamins which are known to combat and even reduce the severity of the deadly disease.

Avacados

Avocado contains healthy fats such as omega-3 and is colesterol-free which is a good thing if you want to prevent yourself from cotracting chronical illnesses like the Big “D” (Diabetes) and can help ptrvent heart related diseases too.

Cranberries

Cranberries are packed with dietary fibre, vitamin C and antioxidents. Including them some where in your diet will certainly help fight the silent killer.

Oranges

Oranges have their benefits as described in this article. To add to that list is the ability to fight against the type-2 diabetes.

Sweet Potatoes

Substituting regular potatoes for sweet potatoes can help reduce the amount of carbs that are found in the regular potatoes. They contain complex carbs which don’t affect your insulin intake very much and also taste good and leave you without the guilt of induldging on carbs too.

Fish

Fish is a good source of Omega-3 and various fatty acids. A good amount of it should keep you safe from other diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and various types of cancers.

Fat-Free Milk

Not only does consuming fat-free milk help you get stronger bones and teeth, it provides you with vitamin D and is also a good source of protien which can help keep your insulin levels at a moderate rate.

I have only touched the surface on this topic, but I’m sure if you include the above mentioned foods in your diet, you will be able to combat the deadly disease and live longer.

]]>It’s been a whlie since I shared a recipe I personally prepared on eat right online, so I decided to go along with the home made beef burger idea inspired from the lunch ideas post from a while back.

Pinterest is usally my favourite source of inspiration when it comes to meal preparation but this time I went the old school way and got something from a cook book called “cooking with confidence”.

I liked this particular one because it was the first cookbook I have ever spent money on and it comes with an instructional DVD that guides you through the process and the recipes seem cool enough to share on this website.

Preparing this meal was quite a fun experience because I have done it before and so there wasn’t anything to worry about when it came to making it a “masterpiece”. Like any other interesting recipe shared here, it’s quite simple and doesn’t cause any damage to your waistline.

The process was quite fun and as usual and for some strange reason I had the feeling that at some point I would be the next master chef winner, but the end product definately qualified for an instagram post. As you can see on the picture, I couldn’t help myself so I took a little bite on the burger before posting it.

Another great thing about this recipe is that it is home made and contains less calories than the typical burger your would get at a restaurant that comes with chips on the side. It is certainly a guilt free treat that I would recommend to my fans.

If you want to enhance flavour or are an extreme health nut, I would recommend you use a pressure cooker (sponsored link) to help make your burger making experience a little better.

If you liked this post, please share it with your friends and family on any of the social media platforms of your choice and please, let’s make eat right online a great destination for foodies who are concious about their eating habits.
